This article offers a reading of Marina Warner’s novel Indigo (1992) along the lines of Riane Eisler’s “Cultural Transformation Theory” in order to point out the crucial role played by narrations and stories in the process of forging individual and collective consciousness and to reflect upon the power of the creative word in a literature of partnership . The novel, a re-writing of Shakespeare’s The Tempest from a feminine perspective, assigns to storytellers, ancient and modern Sybilles, the task of revealing the inextricable connections of peoples and territories, of past and present, in order to explore wifh a contrapuntual approach (Said 1993) those ‘shared histories’ whose awareness represents the essential premise to build a culture of peace grounded in mutual understanding and respect for the Other.
